Ceramic tile quality

Wanted to get others input--do you feel there is any significant quality difference in ceramic tile? Prices range for the 12"x12" from 99 cents to $5. I've done a few low-traffic rooms and will be starting on higher traffic areas (kitchen and hall)...I've heard all kinds of answers on this, please let me know your thoughts. Obviously I don't want to spend more than I have to, but also don't want to sacrifice quality.

k2 is correct tile is graded 1-5.hovever stores like home depot carry tile at$.77 or $.99 because they buy millions of sq.ft. of a "special buy" this tile is rated at a 4 or 5,so its fine for any use in your home.of course at that price it may be in every house on your street,(or not)..the grade of tile is listed on the side of the box....good luck
